My Great Grandpa Dominic DeLuca was born in Licusati, a small village in southern Italy in 1895. At age 11 he along with his parents Phillipi and Agnes as well as his siblings immigrated to America where they settled in Duluth’s “Little Italy” where he was a resident for 70 years.

In the 1940’s, My Great Grandparents Dominc and Rosilia opened a little grocery store called DeLuca’s Grocery. Making Italian sausage among other italian classics such as sauces, pastas, breads for the demanding Italian immigrants in the Duluth Area.

That sausage recipe is the same recipe that we currently use at Mama DeLuca’s Pizzeria.
